Chillax... let them acclimatise to their surroundings first. when they feel comfortable they will start eating. These frogs can survive a few weeks without eating. If your tank is large enough and is well furnished with plants, wood and climbing places they will also feel more comfortable.

Yup, they are nocturnal. By the way i find their appetite is better at night, so maybe you can try feeding them at night instead.

I place the cricket Infront of them. But they don't even bother. So I just had few in hopefully they will eat.

Maybe you can give some details of your setup and the behaviour of your frogs. Are they constantly walking round the tank trying to escape?

No. They just find a place and sleep not moving. Unless there's no light in my room they will move and stay on the tank. That's all. ): still not eating. They don't seem very active to me.

Try putting them in another clean and bare tank with just perhaps a few branches and a small container of water and... then try feeding them there... if they don't react to the cricket in front of them, try throwing in 1-2 live crickets and monitor them... if they don't eat them in 20-30 mins, take out the crickets and try again few hours later... keep doing this until they show some interest...

When your frogs starts to hand feed or simply feed on the crickets/mealworms you give them, you can perhaps try to feed them other alternative food source like Frozen Turkistan roaches and Frozen Dubia roaches which are cleaner, healthier, no noise, best of all cheaper, meatier and can last longer then your average mealworms and crickets... you can go and google on Turkistan and Dubia Roaches for more info...
